Abstract: A lubrication mechanism is provided for a transmission unit having a balance piston. The lubrication mechanism is movable between a closed position when a clutch assembly is disengaged which prevents cooling flow of lubrication to a clutch pack of the clutch assembly, and an open position when the clutch assembly is engaged which provides for a cooling flow of lubrication to the clutch pack. In both positions, lubrication is supplied to a balance piston cavity between the clutch assembly and the balance piston.

Abstract: A transmission assembly for a work vehicle includes a housing that accommodates first and second transmission shafts, a gear arrangement that provides a selective gear reduction for transmission of power between the first and second transmission shafts, and a quill structure secured to the housing that supports the first transmission shaft. The quill structure is couplable to the housing in a first orientation and a second orientation to vary a vertical spacing between the first and second transmission shafts. A bearing bore in the quill structure is formed at a vertically offset location of the quill structure and receives the first transmission shaft. The vertical spacing between the first transmission shaft and the second transmission shaft may be set at a first vertical distance or at a second vertical distance based on the quill structure being coupled to the housing in the first orientation or in the second orientation, respectively.
